While I wasn’t completely in the dark about who Ina Garten is, and have seen a few episodes of her show over the years, as it turns out I knew next to nothing about the Barefoot Contessa herself. From dealing with psychologically and physically abusive parents to career struggles, her phenomenal success is more the product of hard work than luck (though Lady Luck is also on her side).

Told with humility and humor, the audiobook narrated by Garten herself, was like a warm hug - you didn’t know you needed it and it leaves you feeling happy and comforted long after it’s over. From stories of her handwritten “meet cute�� with husband Jeffrey to her days working in government to discovering the ad that would lead to a whole new career, every single chapter is engaging, inspiring and very very entertaining.

This book will easily make my 2024 favorites list and I am so glad I was able to read it during Nonfiction November! And fun fact, I loved it SO much, it ended up giving me a book hangover. I never imagined a memoir had that power, but if anyone can do it, it’s Ina Garten 🍸
